Ad edictum praetoris libri
Ex libro XV
Dig. 48,1,2Paulus libro quinto decimo ad edictum praetoris. Publicorum iudiciorum quaedam capitalia sunt, quaedam non capitalia. capitalia sunt, ex quibus poena mors aut exilium est, hoc est aquae et ignis interdictio: per has enim poenas eximitur caput de civitate. nam cetera non exilia, sed relegationes proprie dicuntur: tunc enim civitas retinetur. non capitalia sunt, ex quibus pecuniaria aut in corpus aliqua coercitio poena est.
Paulus, On the Edict of the Prætor, Book XV. Some criminal offences are capital, and some are not. Those which are capital entail the punishment of exile or banishment; that is to say, the interdiction of water and fire. For, by these penalties the civil rights of the delinquent are lost, for the other penalties are properly termed relegation and not exile, for then the rights of citizenship are retained. Punishments which are not capital are those where the penalty is either pecuniary or corporeal.
